"Boys by a Fire" is an oil painting by the American artist Thomas Pollock Anshutz (1851–1912), who was a prominent figure in the development of American realism and an influential teacher at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. While Anshutz is best known for his works that depict industrial scenes and the lives of workers, "Boys by a Fire" captures a more intimate and domestic moment, showcasing his versatility as an artist.

The painting, which dates from the late 19th or early 20th century, features a group of boys gathered around a fire, likely engaged in a moment of leisure or storytelling. The warm glow of the fire illuminates their faces, creating a contrast with the surrounding darkness and highlighting the artist's skillful use of light and shadow to evoke mood and atmosphere.

Anshutz's work often reflects his interest in the human figure and the everyday experiences of ordinary people. "Boys by a Fire" is no exception, as it provides a glimpse into the casual interactions of youth, away from the industrial backdrop that characterizes much of his oeuvre. The painting's composition, the handling of the paint, and the depiction of the figures' expressions all contribute to the narrative quality of the work, inviting viewers to ponder the story behind the scene.

"Boys by a Fire" is representative of Anshutz's contribution to American art at the turn of the century, bridging the gap between the academic traditions of the 19th century and the emerging realist movements that would come to define the early 20th century. The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance within the context of Anshutz's career and American art history.
